But it's nothing new, this tacking “dal ” to Trojan track teams. 1. C. 4-A champs last year, the men of Troy are gunning for their fourth successive intercollegiate title. with a long list of other honors to their czedit. Although Coach Cromwell has & powerful group of stars about which his team will revolve, he is faced with}. the problem of developing stellar tal- ent in the field events to replace some of the missing members of last year's I C. 4-A championship troupe. Among the stars lost from the 1933 team are Duncan McNaughton and Bob Van Osdel, first and second place winners in the high jump in the last Olympic games; Bill Graber, who holds the world’s record of 14 feet, 4% inches in the pole vault; Jeddy ‘Welsh, brilliant hurdler; Dave Foore, distance star; and Leslie Ball, I. C. 4-A place winner in the 100 meters. ** * Kingpins on this year's team are Charles Parsons, sprinter; Ed Ab- lowich and Harry Tompkins, quarter- milers; Ferris Webster, half-miler; Bob Lyon, high hurdler; Norman Paul, low hurdler; Hueston Harper, shot putter; and Frank Williamson, Javelin thrower. Parsons placed in the 100 and 220 in both the I. C. 4-A and N.C. A. A. championships last year. Ablowich, co-captain of the team with Hueston Harper, placed in the quarter in the I. ©. 4-A and was a member of the American 1600-meter relay team in the 1932 Olympics. Tompkins, also a point winner, has always been dangerous in important races. Webster placed fourth in the N. C. A. A. 880 last year, finishing close be- hind Charles Hornbostel and Glenn Cunningham in the excellent time of one minute, 52 seconds. Lyon won the I. ©. 4-A high hurdles title last year in good time, and Paul, who equaled the recognized world’s record of 23 seconds flat in the low hurdies, was chosen All-American low hurdler. Harper, who put the shot 51 feet cr three occasions last year, and Wil- lamson, who has thrown the javelin more than 200 feet, are leading field events performers returning to the squad. * * * Outstanding sophomore performers ere Jimmy “Red” Abbott, sprinter, and Johnny McCarthy, 440 star. who were brilliant performers on last year's frosh team. Abbott, who is a tall, powerful boy, standing six feet three, has a tremendous flow of power and en extremely long stride. He already has run 9.7 in the 100 and 21.2 in the 220. He appears to be ready to succeed such Trojan sprint champions Howard Drew, Charles Borah, Char- ley Paddock, and Frank Wykoff. McCarthy, # husky lad with a huge barrel chest and strong legs, has shown great speed and power in early season workouts. He runs with ex- treme ease and Trojan track experts are he will break 47 sec- onds this season in the one-lap grind. Promising broad jumpers are Paul Jungkeit, Al Olson, and Curtis Mc- Fadden, all varsity men last year. Other field events stars may be dis- covered in the squad now working out at the university campus, with Will Brannan, varaity high jumper in 1932, who has cleared 6 feet 5% inches, and Kenneth Carpenter, soph discus thrower, leading the list of prospects.
